All-county Track Team

Osceola sports

Key Stats: Clocked county best and school-record 10:02.1 in 3,200 meters; ran second-fastest 1,600 meters (4:37.87) and was on regional qualifying 4x800 relay squad that finished in 8:11.05.

Fast facts: Only Osceola County athlete to qualify for state meet in three events (1,600 and 3,200 meters and 4x800 relay). He won the regional championship at 1,600 meters. He placed 14th in 3,200, 15th in 1,600, in Gainesville. He did not run on the Eagles' fourth-place 4x800 relay but, in stepping in for injured Justin Patterson, enabled that relay to advance to state where it placed fourth in school-record time.

"He had probably our most consistent year out of anybody,'' Coach Mal Harpell said. "He works very hard to stay competitive. Blessed with ability, he does all the extra work and never complains and never misses a practice. He should be one of top distance runners in Central Florida as a senior."

Said Delpriore: "I set a couple of goals this season: Go under 10 minutes for 3,200 meters, break 4:40 for 1,600 meters, and qualify for three state events. A lot of people didn't think I could, but I did.''
